Summary

As the franchise ’s future remains indecipherable , Doug Bradley pitches his perfect Pinhead return forHellraiser . After serve as the brass of the Clive Barker - free-base horror movie serial publication asthe malevolent Cenobite leader , Pinheader , Bradley handed the reins off of the fiber to Jamie Clayton for the 2022 dealership reboot , with theater director David Bruckner taking a back - to - BASIC glide path to tellingThe Hellbound Heart . Clayton and Bruckner ’s interpretation was largely well - received , becoming the second - best - reviewed installment behind Barker ’s 1987 original .

During a late interview withBloody Disgusting , Bradley was asked about his thought on a potentialHellraiserfranchise return as Pinhead after being scatty from the 2022 reboot . The star was not only open to the theme of reprising his iconic character , but also revealed his sales talk for what he ’d like to see , sharing the melodic theme of " an old , darker Pinhead " , give tongue to a desire to move away from the " light-minded one - liners and the witty comebacks " feature in later sequel . Check out what Bradley shared below :

I surely never say never . I ’ve never say I was done with it . I ’ve never said I ’m withdraw from it … I ’m sensible about these affair , too . I was in my mid-30s when I first play the character , and I was just turning 50 when I played him the last time . I ai n’t in that age mountain range anymore . I ’m now in my 70th twelvemonth , and to some extent I think particular consequence makeup is a younger humans ’s biz . If we did that , we could maybe present an older Pinhead to be mindful of the fact that I am the age I am , that time and somberness does what time and gravitational force does .

An older , blue Pinhead would intrigue me , one not so much in making love with the flippant one - lining and the witty comebacks and so off . That would be the unadulterated bookend to my lifespan in latex , if I can put it that way … I ’ve never turned my back completely on the case , but realistically , I call back that ’s probably that , and that ’s fine . I ’m proud of what we did with the picture , and I ’m proud of my work in it . I ’m coolheaded with being where I am now .

Is There A Future For Bradley In The Hellraiser Franchise?

Despite scoring strong reviews and upstanding viewership numbers for Hulu , twentieth Century Studios has yet to foretell anyfuture plan for theHellraiserfranchise . This is broadly understandable , considering the 2022 reboot ended on a generally conclusive note , with Odessa A’zion ’s protagonist Riley accept her part in her brother ’s destruction via the Cenobite equipment , the Lament Configuration , and Goran Višnjić ’s opposer Roland Voight being accept to the Cenobite world to be transmute into one of them .

In count at premature episode , however , there are a number of ways for theHellraiserfranchise to keep beyond the 2022 movie . The original 1988 subsequence , Hellbound , saw the return of one of the first movie ’s antagonists from the Cenobites ' kingdom to track down final girl , Kirsty Cotton . A sequel to the 2022Hellraisercould take a similar path with Roland coming back to use his new Cenobite abilities to haunt Riley . A follow - up could also take a standalone glide path kindred to premature sequels , which used everything from future technology toSilent Hill - like incubus universes to bring Bradley back .

One recent horror hit shows how Bradley could return as Pinhead without undermining 2022’sHellraiser .

Bradley ’s likely future in theHellraiserfranchise may seem in doubt considering the 2022 reboot largely moved on from his Pinhead incarnation , but there is precedent for how this could work . Nia DaCosta and Jordan Peele’sCandymanlegacy subsequence in effect found a mode to insert a new version of its titular entity while bringing back Tony Todd as a prior embodiment . A futureHellraisermovie could take a similar coming , flesh out its lore to reveal Bradley ’s Pinhead to be either the original or previous Cenobite drawing card before Clayton ’s Priest came along , thus bridge the narrative col between the two .
